BlackBerry Connect

Faster Decision Making, Better Collaboration

BlackBerry® Connect accelerates decision-making by allowing you to securely connect and collaborate in real time on your choice of mobile device. By integrating with existing enterprise instant messaging solutions, you can always stay connected with your business contacts.

It also works seamlessly with other key collaboration apps built on the BlackBerry Dynamics Secure Mobility Platform, to ensure a chat can be started from any point in your business workflow. Experience instant messaging, presence, file share, and document editing—all from an intuitive interface.

BlackBerry Connect is part of BlackBerry Secure, a comprehensive endpoint-to-endpoint approach to security. Built on BlackBerry® Dynamics, the best-in-class mobile container for app development, it eliminates the threat of data leakage by providing messages with an additional layer of security. With BlackBerry Connect, your data is BlackBerry Secure.

Safeguard Enterprise Information

BlackBerry Connect protects data both in transit and at rest. It routes instant messages safely from behind the firewall to mobile devices, without compromising your business information or network. With FIPS-certified AES encryption libraries, it provides an additional layer of defense against malware infected applications.

IT can safeguard corporate contact and message data on BlackBerry Connect using application policies such as password requirements, remote lock and wipe, and disabling of copy/cut/paste. This ability to manage employee activity ensures that valuable data being relayed across instant messaging stays within the organization.

Maximize Your Existing Investment

Most enterprises have already invested in traditional instant messaging solutions such as Microsoft® Lync®, Skype® for Business, IBM® Sametime® or Cisco® Jabber®. BlackBerry Connect seamlessly integrates with these systems to help you get more out of your existing investments.

Because it builds on existing enterprise instant messaging investments, you can use your current compliance tools for mobile communications. Without any additional expense, you can monitor chat logs for compliance purposes or legal discovery.

Improve Real-Time Communications

BlackBerry Connect offers a simple and modern interface, with several benefits for end users, including:

Integration with other business apps - Easily start an instant messaging chat from email, calendar, contact lists and more.

Intuitive group chat capabilities - Save time and boost productivity with increased collaboration within and across teams.

In-app document editing - Edit documents received as an instant message right within the app and share back seamlessly.
